(The report lists the schools surveyed and provides nine graphs showing the following: geographic distribution for private career institutions in Nebraska; programmatic distribution for the institutions; enrollment for program type, full time versus part time; program types by gender; enrollment by race or ethnic category; enrollment by age; completions by program type; completions by gender; and completions by race or ethnic category. Six tables show the same data.) (KC)
